Poilce question fourth suspect in hunt for gunman

A FOURTH man has been arrested in the hunt for a gunman who has carried out two terrifying raids in Hampshire.

Police last night swooped to arrest a 36-year-old man from Totton as they continue their bid to track down the person responsible for armed robberies at Brockenhurst Railway Station and at a couple’s home in Lymington.

Detectives have already arrested a 48-year-old man from Lymington and a 44-yearold New Milton man over the raids. They have been released on police bail, pending inquiries, until February.

A third man, a 44-year-old from Lymington, was arrested in connection with the two robberies but later released without charge.

It comes just days after a £5,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. A police drawing of the suspect was also released.

Hampshire Constabulary’s Major Crime Unit has received a number of calls of interest after the Daily Echo published the artist’s impression.
